Foreign Languages: I speak 5 different languages

If you have some problems with people speaking in English, then
you might as well have problems with toddlers speaking in Hindi even before
they can say: ཀ་ཁ་ག་ང་།

Actually, if you really look at it is a blessing in disguise,
besides being an extra knowledge to be able to understand or speak in some
foreign languages. It aids you in understanding others better not only of their
personality, but also her/his culture, tradition and history. It not only offers
you with various options into learning new things with greater resources at your
disposal, you can at any time dive into the ocean of their literature and art,
and quench your thirst of seeking knowledge. You can explore everything as easy
as eating a cake. If you can speak/understand/read/write in their language, then
you can relate to her/him, and their community and country so effortlessly. Understanding
culture and tradition of the place helps you in treating them better, so they
will treat you best. Respect and value to one another comes just like that. Of
all, with greater resources of knowledge at your disposal it aids you in opening
your inner and outer eyes. Your conscience becomes clear.

Learning or knowing other or foreign languages always comes in handy
especially when you go around place to place. You can not only convey the message
directly into their heart, you actually can feel and share the very thoughts
and ideas they possess, easily. Which otherwise 20% of the whole conversation is
lost in the translation and meaning distorted.

Besides, there is no harm in speaking either in English or Hindi or French or
whatever, whenever and wherever as and when one wishes to, apart from official
bouts; so long one value and pay equal respect to one’s own age old culture and
tradition, passed down form generations to generations.

And yes, it also creates jobs and helps in easing unemployment problems in the country, which goes almost above 3%. It brings home huge sum of money via tourism that in some ways boost the economy of the country.

If you really have a problem and wishes to find an answer, then
perhaps it's time you start digging out the actual source of influences coming
in and sieve those, before it touches young souls without educating them on the
good and the bad of it. We have got numerous foreign language institutes in the
town, if not for fore mentioned advantages, why spent so much hard earned money of yours
into leaning those languages? Oh, I speak five different languages and a few local dialects of the country!

Life's just beautiful!!

Life is an art, you either just live, write, sing, paint, dance, or etc. as long as you love doing it, as long as it doesn't hurt others sentiment and your own peace of mind, then keep doing it. One day you will look back and say, "This is my story. My life."
